Description of Research Expertise

- Our research entails the development and application of data integration approach to improve the ability to diagnose, treat, and prevent complex diseases

- Our long-term research goal is to develop and evaluate sophisticated data integration methods that simultaneously combine people’s individual variations in genomic (‘omic) data, imaging data, phenotype data derived from EHR, and environment/lifelog data for advancing precision medicine

- Our past and ongoing projects have been both theoretical and applied, mainly in (but, not limited to) cancer and Alzheimer’s disease

- Keywords: Multi-omics data, data integration, translational informatics, precision medicine, machine learning, deep learning, cancer genomics, imaging genomics, EHR, network analysis
